Not only does it show you how to do things, it also explains why and when you should use them. ...
Major kudos to the author, Mike Clark, for making such an awesome book. Even though it’s still in beta, I really recommend this book to anyone who wants to expand their Rails knowledge

Hard to put in words all the knowledge you will gain while reading this book. It goes beyond your standard recipe book since it spends lots of time telling you why you are doing things

Ruby on Rails continues to build up a tremendous head of steam. Fueled by significant benefits and an impressive portfolio of real-world applications already in production, Rails is destined to continue making significant inroads in coming years.

Each new Rails application showing up on the web adds yet more to the collective wisdom of the Rails development community. Yesterday’s best practices yield to today’s latest and greatest techniques, as the state of the art is continually refined in kitchens all across the Internet. Indeed, these are times of great progress.

At the same time, it’s easy to get left behind in the wake of progress. Advanced Rails Recipes keeps you on the cutting edge of Rails development and, more importantly, continues to turn this fast-paced framework to your advantage.

Advanced Rails Recipes is filled with pragmatic recipes you’ll use on every Rails project. And by taking the code in these recipes and slipping it into your application you’ll not only deliver your application quicker, you’ll do so with the confidence that it’s done right.
